When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 217

Evelina's mind raced with a dangerous idea, but she quickly squashed it. If another tragedy occurred, suspicion would inevitably point towards her. She couldn't let that happen.

She texted back rapidly. [I've transferred the money to you. Do not disturb me again!]

She wanted nothing more to do with this person. And she certainly didn't want anyone connecting her to Judy's death!

The butler knocked and entered, "Ms. Sterling, Judy's family has been looking for you again. Luckily, I intercepted them outside before they could reach Mr. Lucian Langston. It wouldn't be good if they said something inappropriate in front of him." "Thank you. Please make sure Judy's family keeps quiet, in case they talk nonsense to Lucian. You know how his attitude towards me has shifted recently."

Evelina was on edge at this moment, fearing that her dealings with the mysterious person would come to light.

Lucian and Alaric's changed behavior was noticeable, and she knew she had to remedy their opinions of her.

Once the butler left, Evelina hurried to the adjacent room, overhearing Lucian and Alaric's conversation.

"Lucian, now that Asher has threatened to cut ties with Lemira, what should we do?"

"Asher's just blowing off steam. I plan to shift the company's focus towards Orvin. After all, Lemmy will be living there, and it would make it easier for us to be close."
